It’s starting to get good
Have you ever watched a movie and from the beginning you knew it would be bad, but after an hour in, you realized the plot started to get good? I’m in that phase of my life. Initially, my life started out bad (i.e., poverty, evictions, etc.) then it climaxed to better things, only to become…

Which way to go
It never fails that I am given notes to create at the most random times. As I was compiling an email to send to my new mentee this morning, her prior email had asked in which building she could locate me on campus. In my response, I stated, “Please come to this building and this…

Peace in forgiveness
There have been several instances where someone has wronged me, but there was one occasion in particular that stood out. I’ve shared many times how I’ve felt personally attacked and preyed upon by a superior I used to report to. This person was not just, fair, nor did they represent or model, I should say,…

Lay it down
This past weekend, my mother, two of my sisters, and I, watched a very inspiring movie on Netflix entitled, Arctic. I don’t remember the lead’s name, but the setting was centered around a fallen aircraftman, as he raced to survive the bone-chilling weather. With his food and water supply running low, he set forth on…

In case you’re wondering

Be Proactive
I used to sit back and expect God to do all the work while I reaped the benefits. I always thought if there was something He wanted me to have, He’d give it to me, and I only needed to be still. It was during those moments that God showed me I still needed to…

Walk away
Not everyone that is mean spirited is “going through something.” The reality is that’s just who they truly are. When you encounter these people, it’s best to walk away. You’ll get nowhere by engaging in fights with people who are hell-bent on making your life miserable, because they can’t find any joy in theirs. No…

Going Up
Over the weekend, I went on a girl’s ski trip in the mountains with my friend and some of her other friends. When I first learned there’d be 10 of us rooming together, I was a bit nervous. One, I only knew some of the ladies and two, that many personalities together can often be…

Slow and steady
Can you believe January is literally over with? Can you also believe that even though this month is ending, and you might not have accomplished all you set out to, small progress is better than no progress at all? I have been on a healthy fit journey for ages now, and although I’ve had some…
